Oneida Ltd. is the world's largest stainless steel and silver-plated flatware maker, serving both the consumer and food service markets. John Humphrey Noyes founded the Oneida Community in upstate New York in 1848. The owning of private property was abolished and the Oneida Community raised children communally and espoused "complex marriage", (aren't they all complex) in which monogamous marriages were discouraged. The Community practiced Noyes's theology of Perfectionism, which is a form of Christianity rooted in the two basic tenets of self-perfection and communalism. In 1894, Pierreport Burt (P.B.) Noyes, the son of Oneida's charismatic founder, rejoined the company after working as an Oneida wholesaler in "The World", as many Oneidans referred to the broader society outside their community. By appealing to their sense of ambition, Noyes attracted children of Oneidans who had left the Community in favor of college education and careers in "The World". Instead of touting the Community's old doctrine of Perfectionism, Noyes advocated a "modern utopia" based on intellectual challenge, reasonable pay, and self-improvement. The company's inventiveness and cooperation between labor and management have distinguished Oneida throughout its history. Unique company in U.S. business. SBNC. XF.
